Well finally backed it. Went for black alumininium. Bit odd though. First time I put the order through I got a card declined message, despite all details being correct. Tried it a second time and the payment went through. Then had a phone call from the bank! Seems they'd picked up the first attempt and were concerned, so had to get back in touch with them to ok it. Sorted now.

That's just the anti-fraud that's picked it up. Happened to me before the first time I made a large payment online. Anti-fraud triggers when you do something unexpected (like spend money online from a supplier in China). Looks like you're good to go now.

Hope so. It was more the "card declined" on the first attempt that set the alarm bells off apparently. Hopefully it's not had a knock on affect on getting it shipped before the cny kicks in.

I just looked at the manual for your iDSD and it had this to say about the coaxial port: "Tip: the S/PDIF standard supports only PCM up to 192kHz." Which casts doubt on whether it would be able to interpret any DSD signal, be it DoP or ASIO ("native").

In any case, its USB input appears to be much more capable (up to DSD512) and so is the USB output of the R6 (up to DSD256 from DSD64 for the coax port), so it would be good to try that.

Thanks Joe. That's what I found out too. Looking towards getting a USB C to USB A adapter.

Any idea why the track started forwarding 4 sec after I pull out the Coax and then later plug it back in? It has happen 2-3x already.
Also have some questions below which was originally posted in the Indiegogo comments section. Relisting it here for other's benefit as well as if someone else have similar feedback.
- the power button blue light continues to blink even with no music playing. What does blinking blue light mean? I left it on the table the whole night and wake up to it blinking still.
- I have album with more than 23 songs just showing 23 songs. It happens on the "Unknown" album as well (the songs without proper tag data).

I was off the grid because MITER asked if i could ship my unit to Korea so they could have cases ready by the time it hit the market in #'s. They asked which DAP I thought would be the most popular in the near future and i said R6 ..no doubt! Folks like it or not (case) is not my thing. It is another option though. I got a case with my favorite logo for my favorite DAP....good times!

Still want to sell your hibyR6 without heard him? )) Mine is already shipped.. will post impressions as now has w4s usb recovery with fiio e17 alpen, before did not heard daps, just pioneer 30r and bigger model maybe it was pioneer 300R or 100R do not remeber, signature was nice just remember that on all volume it was not loud, maybe settings were for power saving.

Yes. I told myself that out of my prior AK Jr, M20, and the R6, I'd simply sell the two that I liked the least. But in the week or so I've had the M20, I've really grown to like it; it has a really nice sound to it.

The M20 isn't that popular, and it would probably be quite difficult to sell, so the R6 and AK Jr will go, and I hopefully won't lose that much on the deal. That doesn't stop me from respecting what HiBy has done to bring us the R6 and drag the Android-based DAP scene out of the Android 4.3 graveyard and into the future.

That's exactly what I told MITER guy as well. Those cases feature kickstand, so you can view videos on your Android DAP. How many Android DAPs out there come with 3GB of RAM for a smooth video playback? Exactly, thus MITER case for R6 made more sense to me, while MITER case for DX200 was already modded by removing the kickstand

From HiBy China, it got forwarded to Hong Kong and sent from there to Sepang (Malaysia).
It's now ended up back in China (Guangzhou, just north of Hong Kong).

HiBy is in Guangzhou. I assume it's been sent back to the HiBy for some reason?

I wouldn’t necessarily read anything into that. Courier firms are known for routing parcels in seemingly arcane ways. Pretty sure HiBy is in Dongguan which is in the same province (Guangdong) but is a different city to Guangzhou.
